The ten electric vehicles you can buy for 2025-2026 that travel the farthest on a single charge, ranked by EPA-rated range in miles.
Quick answer: 1. Lucid Air Grand Touring, 2. Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range Work Truck, 3. GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range, 4. Cadillac Escalade IQ, 5. Lucid Gravity Grand Touring, 6. Lucid Air Pure, 7. Rivian R1T Max Pack, 8. Tesla Model S, 9. Rivian R1S Max Pack, 10. Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC.
Range is still the number one question buyers ask about electric cars, and the gap between the best and the rest is now enormous. For 2026, exactly one production EV is rated above 500 miles on a single charge, a handful of full-size trucks and SUVs cross 450 miles on very large batteries, and the most efficient sedans hit 400-plus miles from packs half that size. This list ranks the ten longest-range electric cars available in the US for the 2025-2026 model years, using each model's best-range trim and battery. It is meant for shoppers comparing how far real, buyable EVs go, and it shows that range comes two very different ways: brute-force battery size, or drivetrain efficiency.
The longest-range production EV sold in the US and the only one rated above 500 miles by the EPA, on 19-inch wheels. It hits 512 miles from a comparatively small 112 kWh pack, showing that efficiency beats raw battery size.
The range leader among electric pickups at an EPA-estimated 493 miles, drawing on a very large ~205 kWh battery. A production Max Range WT covered 1,059 miles on a single charge in a GM-run world-record test.
A platform sibling of the Silverado EV, GMC quotes up to 478 miles on the Max Range battery. This is a manufacturer estimate rather than a published EPA label, so it is ranked on the manufacturer number and flagged.
Cadillac's full-size electric SUV shares GM's Ultium truck platform and a roughly 205 kWh pack, rated at up to 460 miles. That figure is a Cadillac estimate rather than a formal EPA label, as very heavy vehicles like the Escalade IQ are not issued standard EPA window-sticker ratings, so it is ranked on the manufacturer number and flagged.
The longest-range electric SUV on sale in the US, EPA-rated at 450 miles in its most efficient two-row configuration on 20-inch front / 21-inch rear wheels. As with the Air, it reaches that from a modest battery for its class thanks to Lucid's efficient drivetrain.
Even the entry Lucid Air returns up to 420 miles EPA (RWD on 19-inch wheels) from just an 84 kWh pack, making it the most efficient long-range EV per kWh on this list. It ties the far larger-battery Rivian R1T on total range but ranks ahead of it on efficiency.
Rivian's electric pickup reaches up to 420 miles EPA with its largest Max pack (~140 kWh usable) and the most efficient wheel and tire configuration, putting it among the longest-range trucks. It ties the Lucid Air Pure on total range but ranks just behind it on efficiency.
The all-wheel-drive Tesla Model S is EPA-rated at 410 miles, long the benchmark 400-plus-mile sedan and still among the longest-range Teslas you can buy.
The R1S SUV version of Rivian's platform is EPA-rated up to 410 miles with the Max pack, making it one of the longest-range electric SUVs available and a match for the Model S on range.
Mercedes' flagship electric sedan rounds out the top 10, EPA-rated at 371 miles for the 580 4MATIC on a 118 kWh pack.

Ranking metric: EPA-rated driving range on a single full charge, in miles, for the longest-range available trim/battery of each 2025-2026 model-year electric vehicle. Higher range = higher rank (rank 1 = longest range). Inclusion criteria: fully electric (BEV) passenger vehicles offered for sale in the US for model years 2025-2026, one entry per model using its best-range configuration so a single model cannot fill multiple slots. Range figures are taken from the EPA/DOE FuelEconomy.gov ratings where a published label exists. For 2026 models without a formal EPA label yet (GMC Sierra EV Denali, Cadillac Escalade IQ), the manufacturer's own range estimate is used and flagged in that item's blurb; these are ranked on the manufacturer number. Ties on range are broken by battery efficiency (range per kWh), so a more efficient vehicle ranks ahead of a less efficient one at the same range.
The Lucid Air Grand Touring, EPA-rated at 512 miles on a single charge with 19-inch wheels. It is the only production EV sold in the US rated above 500 miles, and it achieves that from a relatively small 112 kWh battery through class-leading efficiency.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range Work Truck leads electric pickups at an EPA-estimated 493 miles, using a very large roughly 205 kWh battery. A production Max Range WT drove 1,059 miles on a single charge in a GM-run world-record test.
No. The Lucid Air Grand Touring tops this list at 512 miles from a 112 kWh pack, while the Chevrolet Silverado EV needs roughly 205 kWh, nearly double the battery, to reach 493 miles. Efficiency of the drivetrain, aerodynamics, and weight matter as much as pack size.
Most are EPA/DOE FuelEconomy.gov ratings. The GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range (478 miles) and Cadillac Escalade IQ (460 miles) use manufacturer estimates because formal EPA labels were not published for them at the time of ranking; those entries are flagged and ranked on the manufacturer number.
